Sinclair women’s volleyball team played Edison Community College this past Wednesday. The tartans were able to defeat Edison State in all three matches. In their last win against Cuyahoga, Meimagesg Reineke had fourteen kills and twenty-two digs. Melissa Mireless tallied for thirty-two assists and twelve digs leading the Tartans on to their tenth win for the season—that tenth win turned into an eleventh win. The Tartans defeated Edison Community College last Wednesday night at 6:00 p.m. This OCCAC conference win was well earned by the entire team.
The intensity was crazy as the Tartans rivaled back and forth with Edison College in three games making this The Tartans’ fourth earned conference game. The Tartans kept the first match close until Alexandra Petri, a sophomore and also outside Hitter from Springboro H.S., took over with five kills. As the Chargers struggled to keep up with the Tartans aggressive attacks at the net, Rieneke, a freshman outside Hitter from New Knoxville H.S., helped the Tartans with two kills. Then shortly followed by Abigail Bertke, who is also a freshman middle hitter from Dixie H.S., with one kill the Tartans were able to win the first match 25-10.
The Tartans also dominated match two by winning 25-5. Petri served fifteen straight serves to start the second match off. It was too good of a match for the Tartans that Edison Community College wasn’t able to keep up with the Tartans’ strong serves leading them to victory. Edison was able to keep up with the intensity during the third match, but lost the fight giving the Tartans the win 25-15. Rieneke and Petri both had an amazing game; 16 kills total. Adding to those kills, freshman Bertke tallied for two kills to help the Tartans with an overall record of 11-3 win.
